What spawned this idea?
Most of those have been talked to death here, but you maybe asking "Night Court?" Probably because you never heard of it or barely remember it. Well, some blonde cunt from a network decided she wanted to be a Mary Sue, so her character became the here-to-fore unknown daughter of the Main Character, a common Mary Sue trope. The show is painfully lacking in jokes, the characters are all 2 cent copies of the originals without any of the soul or acting ability, and the shit just looks bad. During the preview, the bitch even mentioned it was her vanity project.
Then I saw the post about Phoebe walleyed-bridgefucker, and I realized she did the same thing. Mindy Kellogscornflakes did another Mary Sue trope, she corrupted the soul and possessed an already established character to the point they became an OFC Mary Sue. The writers of The Witcher and Rangz of Kangz did it too.
Why are companies giving talentless hacks money to make their vanity-project/propaganda dreams come true? I can only guess demoralization and money laundering. If it was about spreading ideology, they should find a team that can push The Message in a more intelligent and subtle way - like Star Trek used to do.
There was a post about this today: the end goal of cultural marxism isn't to convince, it's to demoralize.
Sky Captain was money laundering. Even the director admitted to it. I still love the film.
Usually a bunch of films get made and are forgotten. Vanity projects are made all the time, and we just forget about them. All those films about how dangerous George Bush, Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan had big names and pushes that disappeared the week after release. It was all laundering.
The blockbuster ruined that by actually making money. I suspect they have since been adapted.
I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that the point is to hammer home that they're Big People and are allowed to do this to Little People - us.
It kinda fits in with the power politics thing they seem to go in for too. Getting your capricious whims imposed upon unwilling people is the definition of arbitrary power, is it not?
I loved Night Court as a kid and going to do a rewatch soon. I saw there is a reboot/sequel. Notice that none of the characters ever have sons. There is a fantasy island sequel and of course it’s the granddaughter. I wish they could acknowledge that generally speaking men and women like different things. As a life long comic book collector that was the first exposure I saw the obsession with pushing women into a male dominated hobby. Gaming became obnoxious with endless panels or articles about women in gaming. Notice there is no push to get more guys to read romance novels.
Why do they keep remaking that stupid show? The original was OK but it didn't need to keep going.
One of my favorites and still haven't seen the ending, only the ending of the ending. We had to go to Indiana for a funeral and my uncle never recorded it for us.
Three of those feature a producer as the lead or main supporting character.
They have inflated egos and actually believe their own bullshit. Remember when the FB* raided Trump's house and found nothing because they thought he was as stupid as their propaganda caricature of him rather than his real intelligence? This is that, but in Hollywood. Then when normal-ass complaints come for them, they think they're under attack and bunker down into fight or flight mode. Do they actually think 50% of the world are racists? Intellectually no, but emotionally? Yes. Yes they absolutely do.
Theory? It’s proven Fact.
